Creating comfort and performance for BESS and data centres In the world of BESS and Data Centres, silence is more than a luxury. It is essential to performance, safety and the well-being of everyone on site. From recognising the problem to selecting and maintaining the right products, each step matters. Across our recent series, we…
How to keep HVAC acoustic performance reliable after installation Once a facility is operational, its acoustic performance becomes a living condition. HVAC systems continue to evolve. Equipment is upgraded, airflow requirements shift, and maintenance activities introduce subtle changes that can influence how sound behaves. A door that no longer seals as intended. An acoustic louvre…
Integrating generator acoustic performance from the start For engineers and project managers, aligning design intent with sound limits before construction begins is paramount. That’s because environmental sound limits set the framework for every project. Once in place, they dictate performance requirements and shape the project’s direction from the outset. For this reason, reactive treatment of…
Key considerations before specifications are locked in At the specification stage, clarity matters. It’s not just whether acoustic control is needed, but how each component shapes the outcome without compromising mechanical performance. What are the best products for HVAC noise control? For HVAC plant serving data centres and BESS installations, three noise control product types…
Balancing ventilation, performance and containment Generators present a unique acoustic challenge, with their complex mix of mechanical noise, combustion characteristics, and airflow requirements. AcousTech’s specialists understand how best to control generator noise. The sound profile of generators is often dominated by low-frequency energy and tonal components. These characteristics travel further and are more likely to…
How airflow and acoustic control can work together When acoustic performance is considered early, design decisions become more deliberate. Airflow paths are no longer just about moving volume; they become controlled interfaces. Every opening, junction and access point plays a role in how sound is either contained or transmitted. For data centres and BESS facilities,…
What to do when industrial plant sound shapes the working environment Industrial environments are built for output. Equipment runs continuously, materials move at scale, and processes are designed for efficiency. Noise is often accepted as part of that equation, until it begins to influence safety, communication and compliance. Processing equipment produces a complex acoustic profile….
What to do when unwanted sound becomes a problem you can’t ignore Most people don’t notice HVAC systems until they can’t ignore the noise. When HVAC noise builds up, it’s often due to a lack of HVAC noise reduction measures such as the right acoustic louvre for HVAC, or proper acoustic screen walls. It starts…
Designing for performance today and resilience tomorrow Acoustic performance should not be just a one-off consideration during construction or retrofit. Industrial facilities, infrastructure, and operational assets evolve. Equipment changes, capacity expansions, and operational shifts all affect the industrial acoustic environment. Acoustic performance metrics for industrial assets provide the continuity and insight needed to manage noise…
Why frequency data defines industrial noise control outcomes Low-frequency noise is one of the most challenging aspects of industrial acoustic control. Its energy behaves differently from mid- and high-frequency sound, and it often travels further, penetrates barriers more easily, and affects people in ways that are not immediately obvious. That’s why understanding and managing low-frequency…
